I SAT IN ALL THE SEATS!

I did it! I sat in every single seat in all 14 theaters of Regal Cinemas. Somewhere in the range of 2,380 seats in all. All told it took me 6 Hours, 24 Minutes, and 16 Seconds. That averages out to about 9 and half seconds per seat, but that time includes me going to and from each theater and of course a couple of popcorn breaks. Thanks to everybody who sent in a guess and cheered me on, and big congratulations to Michael Smith! Michael guessed 6 hours 23 minutes and as the closest guess won the $500 Gift Certificate to Regal Cinemas!

Here is what I learned during and after sitting in all those seats.
1. It is amazing how much static electricity you can build up continuously sitting down and up
2. Best seat at the RPX Theater? Row G Seat 11. (Although check out the ends of Row E for some nice extra leg room)
3. I had no idea Regal does live broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera on Saturdays... I was halfway through a dark theater when they decided to do a sound check and blast opera music without warning... I almost had a hard attack
4. It is a full body work out, thighs and abs specifically (My legs are still stiff 2 days out)
